Conan: I Am Surrounded By Undercover Chapter 223

Jing Baiye accepted Amuro Toru's advice and decided to call Midorikawa Xin, but he sent an email to Jinjiu first.

[I want to discuss with Midorikawa about the XYZ Cocktail mission... I may miss your call next. Don't hurt Anshi and the others, I will call you back immediately when I see you. ——Angostura]

Don't be afraid of 10,000 in everything, just in case, it's better to remind you first.

After Jing Baiye sent the email, he called Lu Chuan Xin. This time, the call was connected in less than a second.

It was a bit noisy on the opposite side, and Jing Baiye thought that Lu Chuan Xin might be on the road outside. He waited for a while, but he didn't hear the other party speak, only the loud voices of people and vehicles in the background.

"Green River?" He wondered why he didn't speak.

Lu Chuan Xin was shouted like this, as if he had finally reacted, his voice was a little hoarse: "I was crossing the road just now... It's a bit noisy here, I'll find a quiet place, are you feeling better?"

This voice is very gentle, and before he accepted this task... no, it was more gentle than before this task, even a little cautious.

——As if the person he was talking to was a fragile item that finally stuck back after being broken once.

"I'm fine." Jing Baiye calculated how long it would take to return to the safe house: "How's your side?"

They went to eat after training. Due to the delay in the murder case, it was already past nine o'clock.

Mazda drove through a commercial street, Amuro didn't make a sound to disturb them on the phone, and Jing Baiye looked out of the car window.

There were people coming and going. The office workers who came out of the subway station looked tired and rushed home. The dark crowd was a sea of ​​colorful neon lights. Advertisements flashed on the big screen of the shopping mall. With pop music, a busy day's clerk is cleaning the door, covering his mouth and yawning...

This is the life of countless ordinary people.

——Only a few steps away from him, but so far away.

Jing Baiye retracted his gaze and heard Lu Chuan Xin reply: "XYZ cocktail has been in Jianggutian Town these days. Last night, I met with people from the zoo organization at a bar. They seemed to be squatting on someone."

Squatting?

He frowned. Jianggutian Town meant nothing to him. It was the hometown of the original owner and the Kuroba family who had helped the original owner.

The magic accident of the black feather thief a few years ago was caused by the zoo organization, but the teacher did not die. After a few years of silence after leaving Japan to avoid harming his family, he acted in the United States as a strange thief crow. , trying to catch the men from the zoo...

After his last visit to Kuroba's house, Kaito told him that Kuroha Chikage was planning to go to Las Vegas, USA. But going abroad is not going to be out of the market, and it is impossible to leave. She applied to the company first, and can only go after the handover of the work at hand. She is still in Jianggutian Town.

...Could it be that the people at the zoo had their eyes on the Kuroba family? Want to cut weeds?

Thinking of the Heiyu family, Jing Baiye clenched his phone tightly, "Keep staring. If they have any intention of attacking ordinary people, let me know immediately."

"Understood." Green Chuan Xin replied.

Hearing the assurance of his subordinate and temporary guardian, Jing Baiye was not completely relieved, so he had to remind Kuaidou to let him pay attention to whether there were any suspicious people around the house.

Kuidou has learned magic since he was a child, and is more sensitive than ordinary people. If someone with bad intentions tries to break into the Kuroba house, even if the traces are cleaned up, Kuidou can find it in time...

While Jing Baiye was thinking about it, Amuro Toru who was sitting in the driver's seat suddenly sneezed.

Jing Baiye glanced strangely at the subordinate who was in good physical condition. He didn't understand why he was sneezing suddenly. Could it be that he had a cold?

Fortunately, Amuro Toru only hit once, and then it returned to normal, maybe it was just an itchy nose or someone was talking about it.

The opposite Green Chuan Xin was walking, and after a while of opening and closing, Jing Baiye heard that the place was finally completely quiet - he should have returned to the car.

Losing the noisy background sound, he noticed that Midorikawa Shin's breathing was a little strange.

Jing Baiye is more sensitive to this aspect. In the past, when he learned how to approach the target quietly, he learned how to suppress the sound of breathing, so he quickly noticed the abnormality of his subordinates.

Midorikawa Xin's breathing was very soft, listening carefully and a little hurriedly, as if he was trying his best to suppress some pain... When both sides were in an extremely quiet environment, this subtle sound was even more amplified.

"Luchuan." Jing Baiye shouted, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"...A little bit." The other party smiled helplessly, "XYZ cocktail is very cunning, and when he works, I have to eavesdrop on it. I didn't sleep well last night."

Jing Baiye thought about it for a while, it was true, no matter how useless the XYZ cocktail was, it was also an undercover agent sent by another criminal organization, and staring at him would not be an easy task.

The last time Toru Amuro went to track down the CIA undercover agent, he had insomnia. At that time, he used the skills to ensure sleep for him by his side. Now Midorikawa Shin is also unfortunately insomnia. He should not leave him alone.

"Do you want me to visit you?" Jing Baiye asked, "I can accompany you..."

"no!"

Before he could speak, Amuro interrupted him.

When Jing Baiye looked over in confusion, Amuro explained patiently: "This is Green Chuan's mission, and this mission is very important to him. If you pass by halfway, will the organization suspect that he is paddling during the mission and that you are helping He cheated? I know you mean it...but it will hurt him."

"..." This is indeed the truth.

Jing Baiye sighed and said to Lu Chuan Xin, "I can't pass."

"...I know." Midorikawa Shin seemed to have heard Amuro Toru's words, "It doesn't matter, I can adjust the state myself."

"If you can't stand it, tell me directly, your physical condition is more important." Jing Baiye couldn't help but add.

"it is good."

The opposite side was silent for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Angstra."

"What's wrong?"

"...When I finish the task and come back, let's go to the hot spring together."

This is the email that Jing Baiye sent to Midorikawa Xin last night. He didn't reply to him at that time, but now he repeats it with a different subject.

"Okay, I'll let you know as soon as this mission can be over." Jing Baiye couldn't help laughing, "I'll wait for you to come back."

At that time, you will be the same code member as me.

"Dad threw my toy away."

"What toy?"

"A pair of handcuffs, given to me by my neighbor's brother, who said he would come after he became a policeman..."

The little face of the black-haired boy he was holding was wrinkled in tears, he wiped his tears aggrievedly and looked up at him.

Zhu Fu Jingguang woke up, lying on his back on the bed, cold sweat soaking through the clothes on his back.

He felt his heart pounding violently, as if someone had soaked large clumps of cotton wool and stuffed it inside, brutally blocking all the space, making his heart hurt every time he breathed.

Zhu Fu Jingguang saw the electronic alarm clock on the bedside table, and the time displayed on it was 4:44.

He couldn't sleep. This was his second day of insomnia. He was very tired physically and mentally. Reason told him that he had to rest. But he closed his eyes without any sleepiness, and the dull feeling in his chest forced him to stay awake.

Zhu Fu Jingguang pushed the quilt aside, got up and got out of bed, put on slippers that didn't fit his feet, and went to the first floor.

He first went to the bathroom to wash his face, and poured cold water on his face to make his consciousness clearer.

After wiping the water dry, Zhu Fu Jingguang raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror: his face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were fierce. Become more sloppy and vicious.

Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled self-deprecatingly, facing the somewhat unfamiliar self in the mirror.

... If it was his first time to see Angstra like this, the little boss would definitely not like it, right?

After washing his face, he left the bathroom and sat on the sofa in the living room.

He didn't have anything in his hands. The police cell phone, the organization's cell phone, or the eavesdropping cell phone Angstra gave him were all thrown into the bedroom on the second floor. He just sat empty-handed on the sofa in a daze.

It was no longer completely dark at four o'clock, and there was a faint light on the horizon.

The living room is connected to the courtyard, and through the glass door leading to the courtyard, Zhu Fu Jingguang can see the trees in the courtyard.

As if ironic, there is a cherry tree planted in the safe house of this criminal organization.

There is a folk saying in Japan called "Sakura seven days", which means that the cherry blossoms are short-lived. At this time, it is the end of May, and the cherry blossoms have already withered away.

Facing Faxiao and Angstra, Zhu Fu Jingguang was able to communicate with them in a calm tone, not wanting them to worry or making him suspicious.

But when he was alone, with no friends or enemies around him, the emotions he had been stubbornly suppressed were finally uncontrollable.

Sure enough, as he had guessed before, the deceased tenant man and woman were Angstra's parents, and this was his former home. The people he poisoned at the age of seven were his biological parents.

What Angstra has committed is the crime of kin-killing that is intolerable in most countries, in most regions, in most of the ages from ancient times to the present.

But……

Thinking of the data collected and sorted by ZERO, Zhu Fu Jingguang clenched his fists.

He once had a happy family, a kind and caring father, a gentle and considerate mother, and a smart and sensible brother. Even if everything fell apart when he was seven years old, and he and his brother were adopted by relatives, the relatives who adopted him never beat him and raised him well.

He couldn't understand why someone dared to kill his biological parents, and he also couldn't understand why parents hurt their biological children.

More than 30 domestic violence police records, and the sister who died because of violence in the end - when children of the same age enjoyed the love of their parents and other elders, he struggled in the quagmire, and finally suffocated and sank in the endless darkness.

The light never took pity on him, and the police...the policeman who was supposed to symbolize justice, not only didn't help him, but was even one of the culprits who pushed him into darkness.

And he himself... when he didn't know anything, he used his prejudice against the members of the black-clothed organization to be suspicious of the crimes he had committed, worried that he was an incurable little devil, and planned to deliberately alienate him... …

"Cough cough cough!!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang's breathing was suddenly blocked, he coughed violently, his lungs were burning with pain, and he was completely out of breath.

He grabbed the clothes on his chest, slowly curled up, his head was lowered to almost his knees, and he finally recovered after a while.

Zhu Fu Jingguang maintained this posture for a long time before slowly getting up. He took a few deep breaths, blinked his dry eyes, and looked at the glass door again.

Not far from the tree was a row of wooden walls, and he knew that behind the wooden walls was Liu Ji's house—the home of Liu Ji Shunyi, his former senior who wanted to be a police officer and now has no whereabouts.

It was just out of concern and suspicion about the senior~www.mtlnovel.com~ that he asked Fa Xiao to investigate, and then found out the past that he had not expected.

Zhu Fu Jingguang sat there in a daze, in a trance, he remembered the black-haired boy he saw near the park seven years ago and reappeared in his dream.

- "A pair of handcuffs, given to me by my neighbor's brother, who said he would come after he became a policeman..."

——“I will come to save me and my sister!!”

In my memory, the brilliance of the setting sun gradually dissipated, and the boy who stood with his back to the light finally put down his hand that wiped away his tears, revealing a pair of intact red eyes.

His skin was pale, his cheeks looked soft, and he was very cute.

He looked up at Zhufu Jingguang, who was much taller than him, and his tone was no longer the grievance of being thrown away by his father, but a firmness-believing that the person who made a promise with him would definitely keep the promise.

The boy in memory, rushing to the garbage heap to find his discarded treasure again;

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was out of memory, finally linked the clues together.

The boy who was rummaging through garbage seven years ago, the senior who graduated in the same year but gave up being a police officer, the adjacent house, the criminal evidence recorded in the paper file, and what he said to him when he called the senior to ask the reason for giving up. ...

——"It's pointless... Jingguang. All my efforts are now meaningless..."

Across the phone, Liu Jishunyi's tone was light, like a kite that was torn off and floated in the sky. After losing its only support, no one could hold him anymore. His voice sounded like he was going to cry in the next second.

- "I'm late, none of them are here."

Zhufu Jingguang looked at the cherry tree that had passed its flowering period.

... It turned out that he had met Angstra so long ago.
